The research examines various tools and programs utilized for analyzing Arabic poetry, its meters, and rhymes, specifically those that are accessible and testable. By selecting a curated sample of poetic verses according to defined criteria, considered a gold standard that encompasses all meters of classical Arabic poetry and its common usages, the study evaluates the effectiveness of these programs and tools in automatically identifying Arabic poetry meters and prosody. Furthermore, it compares the performance of these tools based on comprehensive evaluation metrics that highlight their strengths and weaknesses. The study concludes with recommendations aimed at improving the functionality of these tools.
